Real Madrid winger Gareth Bale has claimed that the current crop of players are among the greatest the club has had throughout its illustrious history.
Madrid clinched a third Champions League trophy in the space of four years with a 4-1 victory over Juventus in Cardiff yesterday, becoming the first team to retain the title in the modern era as well.
Madrid are the most successful team in the history of the competition and won it five times in a row at the start of the tournament's existence, but Bale believes that Zinedine Zidane's current side may give the great teams of the past a run for their money.
"We have won three Champions Leagues in four seasons so we have to be in that category," he told reporters.
"All we can keep doing is keep working hard and hopefully there will be more to come. I think we can get better. We are still quite young as a whole team and we have a great squad.
"Winning again adds to the history of this club. This club is the biggest in Champions League history ever, it's great to be a part of and we want to win more."
Bale also dismissed speculation that he could leave the club this summer amid reported interest from Manchester United.
